Untitled

Certainly not the photo i was hoping to get, atleast with this amount

of motion blur. Was looking down changing a setting (probably brought

the ISO down...dont remember anymore) and at the exact moment i

brought the camera up to my eye he took off. So, a bit of

underexposure and lots of blur, the talons and meal seemed to have

stayed reasonably sharp though, considering.

Hi Dan...this is a good motion blur technique, although you are right... the head area should have been just a little bit sharper. Only by experience on every single species you can guess which is the right shutter speed in order to achieve perfectly this effect. I use bracketing mode in order to maximize my chances for a good result. nice work though, regards, Teo

Hello Dan. Personally, I like this image. Yes, the head is not sharp. But a critical element in the image IS sharp. Therefor it works nicely. Good work on a tough subject to capture...birds in flight.
